Fishing for fish can cause shoulder joint disease? Experts remind: Fishing can improve your health and mind, but you should also pay attention to the method

Grandpa Cao is over 60 years old. After retiring from his job, he fell in love with fishing. He goes out early and comes back late every day, casting and reeling in his rod, and often sits by the river for most of the day. About a year ago, Grandpa Cao felt a dull pain in his right shoulder, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time. He just occasionally applied a plaster or hot compress on his right shoulder to relieve the pain.

Until a few months ago, the pain in Grandpa Cao's right shoulder became more and more severe, and he could not even lift his right arm normally. Not only could he no longer fish, but his daily life was also greatly affected.

After the doctor examined Grandpa Cao and took X-rays, he found that the patient had severe rotator cuff injury and that conservative treatment was not effective. Grandpa Cao himself had a strong desire for surgery. After a comprehensive examination and in-depth discussion by the doctor, it was decided to perform a reverse shoulder replacement surgery on Grandpa Cao.

Fishing fever sweeps the outdoors, here are some things to keep in mind

Many people think that fishing is a sport that helps you cultivate your body and mind, but in fact, in certain situations, fishing requires a lot of exercise. For example, if you are fishing at the seaside or in a rapid, you may need more physical strength to cope with the impact of waves or currents. In addition, when fishing larger fish, more muscle strength is needed to pull the fishing rod or reel in the rod.

In the past two years, content related to fishing has also emerged on short video and live streaming platforms, making this Buddhist sport loved by more and more young people. Many people born in the 1990s and even the 2000s have joined the fishing community.

In the face of the health risks that "fishing tribes" may face, Director Dong Kefang reminded that frequent fishing will cause frequent elbow movements, which may lead to local muscle strain, and then cause inflammatory reactions at the tendon and bone attachment points, manifesting as arm joint pain. In addition, improper posture or technique may increase the burden on the joints and further worsen the symptoms.

Therefore, fishing must be done in moderation to avoid fatigue fishing and long-term mechanical fishing, especially now that many young people like fly-knocking and fly-scooping. This kind of repetitive mechanized operation using extremely hard rods can easily cause damage to the body.

In addition, fishing outdoors for a long time regardless of the season can easily lead to colds, and because of the high humidity near the water, it is easy to cause arthritis and damage the body. Therefore, you need to pay attention to sun protection when fishing in summer, and you should also pay attention to keeping warm and adding clothes when fishing in cold seasons and at night.

In daily life, you should avoid repeating an action for a long time, pay attention to rest, exercise properly, and strengthen muscle strength training to help reduce the occurrence of discomfort.
